Here are a couple of videos taken at night of the activities at the Chiricahua astronomy Complex night of April 20 and the night of April 21st. The camera was setup looking south across the observing field.

Chiricahua Astronomy Complex April 20th – 21
Here are some photos I took while out at CAC over that Thursday and Friday night. There were a few high clouds but did not deter observing. Most were shot with a Canon 5D Mk4 24-70 L2 30 seconds f2.8 fixed. All but the last two were camera looking north. The meteor shot was from the timelapse setup looking mostly south. The Milky Way shot is looking Southeast. The one with the meteor was shot with a 60D 18mm f3.5 30 seconds tracking. This Meteor was probably not a Lyrid.
I did somewhat of an experiment with these in the processing. Instead of subtraction dark frames to reduce noise, I let Adobe’s new Denoise AI reduce the noise. Let me know what you think.
This one has some red abnormality in the low sky. I wish someone could tell me what it is.

OsSky Field Photos
I had a request for photos of the telescopes we used at OsSky. Unfortunately, I did not take any daytime photos of the field. Here are some of the night shots that contain photos that have some portion of a telescope in them. I had to beat them up in Lightroom in order to see some of the hardware. You should be able to click on them to embiggin.

Chiricahua Astronomy Complex
Spent a few nights doing some astronomy out at CAC. The snow on the Chiricahua Mts is almost gone. Probably be the last I see this season. We also had a moderately good sunset.
